TENNIS LEAGUE STARTS Dumbarton Team in Baltimore to Play Mount Washington. Dubarton tennis team of this city was to face Mount Washington's rack- eters in the opening match ef the an- nual Baltimore Winter League this aft- ernoon at the Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore.

Clark Griffith’s suggestion that dressing rooms for the players be installed at all American League base ball parks has met the ap- proval of President Ban Johnson and will be acted upon by the league before next season. George Stallings, Buffalo mana- ger, is reported to be after Kid Elberfeld, who has been playing with Washington. Jack Johnson, world boxing cham- pion, has announced he will sign to fight Jim Flynn, Pueblo fireman, at Windward, Nev. Johnson's end would be $20,000 and a one-third interest in the motion pictures. Henry C. Elphinstone won the Baltimore Cross Country Club 10- mile open handicap run. Johnny Bolac, Washington Cross Country Club, was second, and Louis R. Hiteshew, Central Y. M. C. A,, third. ‘These Washington C. C. entrants also were well up among the lead- ers: Gordon Holland, fourth: R. E. Williams, ninth; M. E. Groome, eleventh, and Warner Curley, four- teenth. Wrestling seems to have about died out. The Zbyszko-Raicevich match in Madison Square Garden is called the last straw. It seems rather clear that fans are convinced that the game has not been con- ducted altogether on the “up and up.” George Washington University is reorganizing its atnletic system and many hope that one of the results will be formation of a foot ball team and revival of the G. W.- Georgetown game. THE SPO BY GRANT OOT BALL has no idea of folding up after the Rose Bowl game. The arrival of snowstorms and blasting winds from the barren lands wen't even check it.

[ THE LISTENING POST BY WALTER TRUMBULL—————— HE United States should do well in sport in 1932. Youth is com- ing forward with a rush. In tennis, for example, it would be hard to find a more promising pair of youngsters than Ellsworth Vines and Frank Shields. It is doubtful whether there are two men in the game who can beat Vines today. Helen Wills Moody still leads them all, and no womran tennis player is even close to her. Twenty-year-old Tom Creavy won the natfonal P. G. A. golf title, and should be better next year. A number of young golfers blazed in the amateur cham. pionship. That grand veteran, Francis Ouimet, beat them off, but they will be back again with a bit of added experi- ence. Katherine Rawls, a Florida girl of 14, lowered a couple of wecrld records in swimming, and beat two older former champions. George Kojac of Rutgers shattered a number of college reccrds. John Schmeller of Michigan is another record shattering youngster who should | still improve George Spitz, a New York University freshman, cleared the bar at 6 feet 7 | inches in the high jump. Percy Beard, who broke the world record in the high hurdles, is only 23. Ben Eastman | of Stanford equaled the record for the quarter mile, as did Vic Williams ofl Southern California. Eddie Tolan of Michigan beat the 100-meter mark, and Frank Wykoff and Emmett Toppino ran the 100 in 10'; seconds—youngsters all. William Graber of Southern California cleared | 14 feet in the pole vault. Youth is racing on. Records that it was thought would stand the utmost test of time are in danger every day. The coming year should see a num- ber of them fall. ILLIS WARD, a Michigan fresh- man, quite outdoes the best in modern fiction. He is the best foot ball prospect in years. As a junior in high school he cleared 6 feet 4 inches in a high jump and last year as a senior he astounded a packed gym- nasium in Detroit by skimming over the bar at 6 feet and 6 and a fraction. And that. boys and girls, strongly smacks of the wild and untamed her- bivorous mammals of Australia. Ward is one of the unlisted prospects for the Olympic games and may cause trouble. for the better known high Jjumpers. NOTHER one of the unknowns to- day who may rank well up with the headliners in 1932 is a half- back on the Stanford campus who will be officially introduced next Fall in the person of Robert Maentz. Maentz scales only 165 pounds. Maentz, however, has the happy faculty of skipping through unseen | holes and then bidding adieu to the | secondary defense, He breaks into top speed a shade faster than the normally fast ball carrier and is a throwback to the old-fashioned idea of helping shake one's own self loose instead of placing all the burden on the line. ~Maentz was on the freshman team in 1930 and will be a varsity candidate for the first time in 1932. When listening to a golfer discuss his game, we often think that, when history repeats itself, it has a lot of company. If they increase the tax on a business firm’s profits the managers of Primo Carnera are going to have a bad New Year. Basket Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER- Harvard’s forward (2) stands at the foul line for a free throw. His oppesing guard is on the right of the foul circle. Note the line-up of the Harvard five. No. 2 executes his shot. If he fails to hit the basket, he breaks at top speed for the left forward corner area of the court, and in consequence has a lead of several strides on his immediate opponent. The stunt now is for 1, 3 or 5 to tap the rebound to 2. If they suc- ceed in doing this, 2 is now in posi- tion for another try from the side of the court.

G. Loeffler, the concession- | naire at the public courses, says the play at both places has been unusually hFa\'y this Winter so far. He attrib- utes part of the heavy play to the fact | that many Government employes take | their annual leave during the Christ- ‘muvs holidays and many schoolboys are | using the courses during the holiday | vacation periods. At Burning Tree and Woodmont there never is a great deal of play through the week, even during the Summer, but most of the regulars at both these clubs are using the courses these mild Winter days just as they did during the fine golfing days of the | past Autumn, Clubs like Columbia, Washington, In- dian Spring, Chevy Chase and Congres- sional ‘all have a number of regular golfers—mcn who play almost every day, weather permitting. These men have found the favorable weather of the last | elght weeks very much to their liking. Probably at no time within the last decade has there been so much golf played around Washington. Favorable weather is the answer to a golfer's had plenty of it during the waning days of 1931. The favorite remark at most golf clubs now is “Why fo to Florida when we can play golf ust as comfortably here at home?” TUST as we expected, the gents who | J have “made unusual shots on golf courses scattered around Washing- | ten are writing in to tell of their well | earned stunts and are chiseling the all- time records of golf courses down almost | to the absolute minimum. Today comes a note from Fulton Brylawski, one of Woodmont's most enthusiastic golfers (who plays & fine game), with a cor- rection for the all-time ringer score for the Woodmont course. Arthur Thorn | scratched his head for a long time to | bring that ringer score down to 42 strokes, but he overlooked the deuce made last year on the ninth hole by Willlam G. Ilich in a match against Mort Wilner, the former Pennsylvania | foot ball star. We recorded the ninth hole as a ringer 3 and are glad now to be able to reduce it to a deuce, Also friend Brylawski relates how Gustave Ring made the fourteenth hole in one two years ago, which brings Woodmont's ringer score down to 40 strokes. Bry- lawski, incidentally, is one of those who have holed deuces on the par 4 first and fourth holes. Thank you, frlend Bry- lawski, and Happy New Year! Un- | doubtedly there have been omissions on | some of the other all-time ringer scores | which we obtain from club records and the club professionals. Tell us about 'em and we'll be glad to correct them. \CRASH | 300 Fans Gain Free Admission at Pasadena Contest.
